Several weeks/months ago we discussed a nice new band that played cosmic themed drone/funeral doom similar to Arcane Voidsplitter. The album had 3 songs I think and it was some sort of supergroup/collaborative project.

Anybody remembers the name? I lost my bandcamp link and now I cannot find it=(

Did you listen to the latest Qhwertt? This is some very good funeral drone doom imo.

Re: To what listenest thou?

Yes, Astralsilence is exactly what I meant, though I'd been quite wrong about the drone part of it=)))

And yes - the latest Qhwertt is really fascinating! The vocals annoy me quite a lot, but I'll have to get over them as the instrumental part is amazing, it even has this weird Twin Peaks feel at times.

the worst singer I've heard for a long time... Too bad, the rest does have some appeal.

Re: To what listenest thou?

New "Batushka" album - "Hospodi"

But the question is which Batushka is the right one?

'cos the other one also released new album "Panihida"

It's not the same band? It's the same kind of visual

No, it's two separate bands now... they used to be one, but the two members had an argument and split up... or kicked each other out of the band... so, now they are carrying on on their own with the band having the same name... clear?

Unfortunately after their debut album "Litourgiya" they splitted into two bands with the same name and still not settled in court who has the rights to the band name... Therefore there is a kind of schizophrenic situation...https://www.metal-archives.com/search?s ... =band_name

I prefer Hospodi, although it has horrific reviews on EM... they sound pretty similar to me...

Re: To what listenest thou?

Find it boring to be honest.

Now: Sweet Ermengarde. I like this album very much!!

Earlier, it was Mistress of the Dead/ henriette's message from the other shore. I doesn't click with me. More of a background music perhaps.

Mourning Dawn/ wastes

A bleak, uncompromising masterpiece. Not your random black doom shit.

Re: To what listenest thou?

Silence In The Snow - Levitation Chamber. Out now on Prophecy Prod. One of the best post-punk releases I have ever heard. Dark and ethereal and so authentic. Kind like a Siouxsie and the Banshees worship band ("Israel"-era) with that authentic old school obscure sound, but I think Silence In The Snow are better, deeper and more interesting.
